Hi all,
As mentioned in my earlier post, I just added an RB1080 to power my front speakers. And the result is, in a word, WOW. Soundstaging, detail and bass oomph are much better than with my other, ageing power amps -- B&K ST2002 and Marantz M500 monoblocks.
I have tried partnering the RB1080 with a B&K stereo preamp and the Rotel RSP1066 prepro and find that music through the B&K is slightly superior.
My question is this: Is it possible to connect both the B&K preamp and RSP1066 to the RB1080, the former via balanced inputs and the latter via RCA inputs?
If it's possible, then I plan to use the B&K for stereo music and the RSP1066 for HT and multi-channel music (SACD and DVDA).
I am also now using the B&K power amp to biamp my centre speaker (Ruark Dialogue). It's improved the sound but I noticed a slight hum from the speaker. I am using a stock Y IC while waiting to get a better one. Could this be the cause, or is it something else that I should be concerned about?
Appreciate any help and advice.
Regards,
